Don't own Harry Potter.
It's 11:40 right now
Enjoy!
Sabine's POV
Being at the burrow was like living in a beehive, but only in the nicest way possible.
It was warm and cozy, with hunny colored walls and wildflowers growing all over the property.
And much like a beehive, there was a constant buzz.
The house was never quiet, even in the dead of night in the cramped attic I shared with Tonks.
Pipes creaked (which made no sense because it was a magical house, but fine), the ghoul (having been moved on tonk's arrival) wailed from the basement. Random bangs and booms sounded from the twins room all through out the night.
How anyone got any sleep here I couldn't comprehend.
Despite having lived with a small child for most of my life, I'd grown used to the quiet of number 12, even with the three boys.
Harry was quiet by nature, as was Remus. You could often find them reading together in the large armchair by the fire.
Even Sirius, punk rock and rebellious, kept the noise at a minimum.
This however, the constant thrum, was unnatural.
And it was in the mist of this never ending hum that Minerva's patronas arrived.
Remus's POV
They were fucked.
And not in a, oh dear! Minnie just caught us setting up our blizzard-in-the-corridor prank.
No, this was we're about to fight our way out of a ministry blockade.
"Any bright ideas?" Sirius yelled, shooting another spell from my wand as we hide in our hotel room.
If you could still call it that. The door had been blown open, charred wood and broken glass strewn all over from their assault.
We hide in the little alcove, a shielding spell and a notice-me-not charm all that stood between us and jail.
"Not-at the moment!" I hollowed back, holding my sore left side with a wince.
The full moon was in a few days, it's effects coming a bit early this month. Peachy, right?
"Well-we've-got to do something!" Sirius replied, flattening two aurors who were getting dangerously close to us.
"We could always go to the cottage." I proposed, ducking as a stunner streaked over my head.
Sirius grimaced. "And how do we know that's not as much of a trap as we're in now?"
"Well we don't have much of a bloody choice, do we?!" I bellowed over the ruckus.
Padfoot looked around, then back at me, throwing another spell over his shoulder. "Fair point!"
"Hand me my wand a minute, ya?" I called, snatching it up and screwing up my face.
Happy,Happy,HAPPY!Right oh!
My patronas leapt from my wand. "Minnie, we're leaving now, prepare.tell Sabine Flaversham to meet us there,we can trust her. She has Harry!" And with that, the silvery wolf bolted away.
I handed the wand back to Sirius, knuckles whitening as the shield rocked.
"Ready moons?" Padfoot yelled, a mischievous grin plastered on his face as he turned to the aurors.
"Always my seren!" I answered.
Minnie's POV
Their coming.
I quickened my pace down the corridor as Remus's patronas lingered in my brain.
Lovely. They couldn't have choose a better time for this?! I grumbled to myself.
Albus had just called an emergency meeting later that very day, the tone of his voice worrying.
Should I be there when they arrive? What if they were injured? Or Harry?
And speaking of Harry, who the bloody hell was this Sabine Flaversham women anyway? Why did she have Harry?
Calm yourself Minerva! You have to trust them. If Remus and Sirius think she is trustworthy, then she must be.
I desperately wished that I could meet them there, but alas. I couldn't just leave in the middle of the school day.
And if I miss this meeting, they'll grow suspicious.
But could she be trusted?
Just then, another patronas appeared, this time Albus's.
The message was short.
"Order of the Phoenix meeting, now! Urgent!"
Oh god, that can't be good.
Sighing through my nose, I changed course to the headmasters office.
"Cockroach cluster!" I yelled at gargoyle.
Fitting I thought privately.
As I entered (the exasperated to knock) I took in the large amount of people in the room.
I counted both Molly and Arthur, most of the remaining order, and strangely enough, hagrid.
"I'ma kill 'im!" The half giant in question roared, a fury I'd never quite seen in him alight in his eyes.
"How could they escape, you said they were cornered!" Molly Weasley shrilled, holding tightly to her grim looking husband.
"They were, had half the defense squad trained on 'im til they blasted the damn room apart!" Mad-eye Moody shot back, magical eye swirling well, madly.
"Maybe if you aurors were more equipped at their duties-"
"Watch it Weasley! You don't know a damn thing-"
"I'll advise you to not speak to my wife like that-" Arthur chimed in.
"Enough." Albus called over the din. Everyone quieted and turned to him.
"As we have just learned, the fugitives have gotten away once again."
"Should have smoked them out when we had the chance!" Moody spat, thumping his fake leg on the floor.
My nostrils flared but I kept quiet.
"Nothing we can do about that now, in the meantime though, does anyone have an idea about where they possibly might be?"
Albus's eyes swept the room, carefully avoiding staring at anyone in particular.
I throw my occumancy shields up and prayed they'd be enough.
His eyes passed on.
"Could they be at the old potter manner?" Poppy suggested tentatively.
An uproar of disgust filled the room at the notion.
"They wouldn't dare!" Was yelled out.
No, they wouldn't. I thought sadly.
The potter mansion would be the last place either of them would ever go.
"We should begin the search there then." I spoke up, watching as Albus nodded in approval.
It made me gag inside.
"An excellent idea Minerva! Moody, could you lead that effort for us?" Albus said, thankfully turning away from me.
"Yes, and I'll send a message to the family house elves to let you in!" I quickly offered, jumping to my feet.
"Well Minerva, that-" Albus began.
"That's an excellent idea Minerva! I'll come with you!" Poppy cut over him, linking arms with me and leading us out before he could stop us.
We walked for silence for a bit before reaching my office, were she pulled both of us swiftly into and locked the door.
Leaning in, she whispered quietly in my ear.
"I don't know what your doing or what your planning, but you have to work smarter then that Minerva! He's going to get suspicious of what your up to!"
I looked at her stunned. "Poppy I can't tell you-"
"I don't need you too, we have known each other for more then 3 decades. I trust you."
My eyes welled up slightly at that. Finally, someone in my corner.
Pulling her into a hug, I nodded into her hair, releasing her with a smile.
She returned it before quickly leaving the room.
Setting my shoulders, I cast a quick silencing spell and sent a quick message to this Sabine.
"Dear miss. Flaversham,
My name is Minerva and I have been sent word by Sirius to tell you the Rendezvous point.
It is the chaplain house in Belfast, 33rd Corey street.
Please go there eminently."
Not a minute later, a silvery reply appeared.
I'd never seen a patronas like this before, a snap dragon.
I remember reading about them as a little girl, apparently they changed colors often, the end of there tails constantly spitting sparks like a stick of dynamite. They often inhabited urban china, mostly found amongst the New Year's Eve fireworks.
The voice of a young sounding girl began.
"Dear-Minnie was it?
My name is Sabine and Sirius and Remus are dear friends of mine.
Thank you for letting me know, we're on our way."
Tonks's POV
The silvery cat with professor McGonagle's voice dissolved a few seconds after relaying its message.
Both of us sat still, the only noise to be hurried was the pipes.
Sabine snapped out of it first, leaping from her sleeping bag and hurriedly packing her things.
I sat up. "I'm coming with you."
"No your not." She replied sharply, not looking up as she threw on her coat.
"Yes I am, it's dangerous to apperate that kind of distance by yourself, not to mention with two kids. Plus, you'll need protection."
"I can protect myself." She spat coldly, pulling the zipper tight.
"Still." I mused, hopping out of bed myself and throwing on shoes.
I choose to stay in my pajamas since Sabine was, only grabbing a coat.
"What about bill?" She asked with a sigh.
"I'll say here and cover for you." He said, making us both jump. He stood in the doorway, a sleeping Ron in his arms.
At her startled gaze he answered. "I can hear you through the vents.
I looked at the little boy in his arms questioningly . "He has nightmares." He replied simply.
"What are we going to do about your parents?" Sabine prodded.
"Their out right now, some really important meeting, I'll tell them you guys got urgent calls home and had to leave in the middle of the night."
She smiled greatfully.
"Thank you bill."
"Don't thank me yet, we still have to figure out how to get the four of you there. Even with side along apperation, it's still risky. You could splinch yourselves."
Sabine's snails fell. "Then what do you suppose we do?" She asked.
"You could-yawn- take the car." Ron mumbled out, rubbing his eyes.
We both looked at bill.
"Car?!"
Okay, all done. Sorry I took forever yada yada
Just wanted to give a shout out to James Birdsong for supporting this story since sure beginning.
